Following the well-received single Papercuts, versatile Edinburgh-based singer-songwriter Erin Meg will be releasing Drenched. The song welcomes us into her inner thoughts with a plucked guitar line, then Erin’s tender voice matches the warm sound, making you feel as though you’re wrapped in a blanket as she authentically sings about longing for romance and taking a chance on love. The drums and jaunty bassline walk the song forward with a gentle confidence, moving the track along with effortless ease. Erin’s voice captures the deliberate tension in her delivery, balancing vulnerability with control, never too much and never too withheld. Erin pours raw emotion into the repeated line, “but maybe you could help me like myself a little bit more,” each time offering it like a quiet plea of hope that grows and builds, becoming more affecting with every repetition. I can’t help but bop along to the beat, feeling secure in her hands and relating to the song’s message: throwing caution to the wind and becoming drenched in devotion to a new love.
